Max: No pressure.
Angie: Is Brayden ready for that?
Max: He’ll love you. Sparky will too.
Angie: Does Sparky like cats?
Max: Supposedly.
Angie: Hmm.
Max: I’ll order in Chinese.
Angie: You had to go and tempt me with fried rice, didn’t you?

Angie: Thank you so much! I love it.
Max: I’m so glad they came.

Angie: Trying to distract me?
Max: He’ll love you, Angel. It’s impossible for anyone not to.
Max: Now, it’s late for you. Get some sleep and we’ll talk tomorrow.

Max: Because I’m totally miss-able.
Angie: So pun-tastic.
Max: I’ll have you know, Blue just asked why I lol-ed.
Angie: What’d you tell him?
Max: That a beautiful woman has me by the balls.
Angie: I’m not sure if I’m intrigued or disgusted.
Max: Story of my life.
Max: And you’re definitely intrigued, sweetheart. Just btw. ;)
Max: Gotta turn off my cell. See you tomorrow.
Angie: Your place at 7 pm. Can’t wait.
Max: Goodnight, Angel. Sleep tight.
